growth of the site.

images, etc. to Arne Trelvik

These publications relating to Revolutionary War military service by Warren

from Beers History of Warren County page 962,
"Himself being imbued with the spirit that characterized
the French under the leadership and influence of the immortal La
Fayette, took up arms against the minions of George the Third,
and in defense of the homes and liberties of the oppressed colonists.
During the battle of Bunker Hill, he bore aloft the colors of his regiment,

" Captain in the colonial forces during the Revolutionary war"

from James
Blackburn Obituary, The Western Star, Lebanon, Ohio, Tuesday September

" Mr. Blackburn was born in Frederick county (Va.); at an early age
he attached himself to the expedition commanded by Dunmore in 1774, under

Ohio."

[The 1782 birth date is probably incorrect as it would make Revolutionary
War Service highly unlikely]

Dee & Duncan Davidson
write the following on 15 May 2005 about Dee's 5th Great Grandfather,
" The data we have about Daniel,
and particularly in respect to his Revolutionary War service, was obtained
from an Ancestry World Tree Project which credited the Warren County Historical
Society as their source. Daniel
Gray, born on 20 March 1748 in Essex County, New Jersey, enlisted
as a Private in the summer of 1775 in Essex County. He served for various
periods totaling 18 months under the command of Capts. Baker and Brown,
and Cols. Heard and Luse. His military pension was granted on 04 March
1831 at a rate of $60. per year, with certificate #2361 being issued on
01 November 1832 at Hamilton, OH. Daniel
is said to have signed his pension statement with an "x". He
was a cabinetmaker by trade and was totally blind at his time of death."

I think the Thomas Hamilton listed in the The
Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots, Vol. 2, p. Serial 11999,
Vol. 8 was the Thomas Hamilton of whom it was written in an 1889 Edgar
County, Illinois county history:
"The maiden name of the mother of Mrs. [Hannah Patterson] Hanley
was Nancy Hamilton. She was a native of Virginia, born near
the town of Moresfield and was the daughter of Thomas Hamilton, who
was born in England. He served in the English army and as a
soldier of that army was brought over the Atlantic to fight the colonists.
This he did not wish to do, so deserted the ranks and located in Virginia
and lived in Palmyra, Warren County, the remainder of his days"Source: "Portrait and biographical
album of Vermilion and Edgar Counties, Illinois: containing full page
portraits and biographical sketches of prominent and representative
citizens of the counties". 1889. Chicago: Chapman Brothers,
page 1037 [part of a biographical sketch of David Hanley, husband
of Hannah (Patterson) Hanley]

The IGI gives his death as 1827 in Mason, Warren
County, Ohio, which would be consistent with an interment in Unity
Cemetery.

John
Hill (1735-1803)A number of sources indicate that this John Hill
was [or possibly was] a Revolutionary War veteran. Whether he lived in Clermont
County or what is now Warren County also seems to be of some question but
he did own land in what would become Warren County.

He is buried is in the Hill-Wagoner
Cemetery in Hamilton Twp right at the Clermont County Line on property
that he had obtained from Thomas Paxton.

"The Maryland Militia in the Revolutionary
War",1987 by S. Eugene Clements and F. Edward Wright
On page 237, John Hill is listed as one of the men in Capt. Henry
Botelers Company, in a 14 Aug 1781 document listing men draughted
on the 30th July from Washington County, Maryland.

"Loveland: Passages Through Time",
1992 by Janet Brock Beller and Maxine Elliott Nason, from page 7,
"In 1796 Theophilus, William and John Simonton bought land
from Colonel Paxton and settled near the mouth of the O'Bannon Creek.
The Abraham Miller family soon followed and located near the Simontons.
The John Hill family came to the Loveland area in
1798, bringing with them their six sons and two daughter, some of
whom wre married. Also before 1800, Joseph Hill and Samuel Hill arrived.

19 May 2009 by John
Apgar"My mother Mary Ross Apgar and her sister Janet
Ross Johnson did extensive research on the Ross family. Alexander
Ross is our stopping point on that side of the family. What we
are lacking for him is his place of birth (country of Origin), his parents,
emigration date to the US. We know he traveled to Brownsville (Redstone)
in Pa, then moved with his inlaws to Franklin in Warren County . He served
in the Rev War, at Battle of Brandywine, Paoli (captured), and Whiskey
Rebellion. My mother, Mary Ross Apgar visited the Warren County Courthouse
and examined their records in person. It was from there that she discovered
Alexander Ross (1755-1809) and his wife, Nancy
Ann Ross, were buried in Dicks
Creek Cemetery. There is no gravestone, as it may have been destroyed
or removed over the years. We also have references from the Kidner family
(an in law from one of Alexander's children) that he was burried there."
